Today on our 2010 Scion XB well be test fitting the Thule double track platform style two bike carrier for both inch and a quarter inch two inch hitches, part number TH990XT. Now to begin our test fit weve already gone ahead and removed the included adapter for the two inch hitch so well slide our bike rack shank into the hitch, line up the hitch pin hole and install and tighten down our anti-rattle bolt. With the anti-rattle bolt tight our bike rack is secured to the vehicle. Well now go ahead and give you a few measurements. Our ground clearance at the bike rack is 10 inches. From the closest point of the bike rack to the back of the vehicle is 5 inches.
Well now go ahead and unfold the bike rack platform and open our cargo door. As you can see with this bike rack we can gain access to the cargo area opening our cargo door completely. Well now go ahead and give you a few more measurements. With the platform down theres 17 inches from the closest point of the bumper to the platform. This bike rack will add an additional 29 inches overall length to the vehicle.
Were now almost ready to load our bike. Well need only to make sure that our wheel mount straps are undone and out of the way and that our vertical bar is up and the clamps are extended. Well place the bike into the wheel mounts and bring the clamp down over the top bar of our bike. Well move back down to the wheel mounts where well put the straps through the wheel and secure them on the other side and thats it our bike is loaded and were ready to head on down the road. That completes our test fit of the Thule double track platform style two bike carrier, part number TH990XT, on our 2010 Scion XB..
